My mind is taxed too just keeping things read.
The Shakespeare phrase "kill all the lawyers" was uttered by Falstaff, an overweight buffoon in the play who ate too much, drank too much and frequently said inappropriate things as part of his role of comic relief. He played the everyman likeble fool comic role, hung out in the local tavern, and was popularly described as a "lying tub of lard". His name is a play on words describing his impotence after drinking too much.
I'm sure his kind died out generations ago.
